In the world of Seven Stories children always grin
Because amazing characters beg to be let in.
Peek into the bookshop, dive into a text,
I’m sure you’ll want to know what will happen next
As robbers chase policemen and dragons kiss knights
And spooks wail, ‘Oops!’ in the middle of their flights.
You can climb aboard with pirates eager to set sail,
Or hang around with vampires in a ‘Twilight Tale’,
Hobnob with hobbits or spin spell with a witch,
Then whiz around a wizard with a nervous twitch.
In the worlds of Seven Stories does your mother know,
That you’ve a monster for a pet and you’ve tied it to your toe?
